The support contract is the number 1 reason. You get that call at 2am that your DC is dead, you call [vendor of choice] and they'll be there within 4 hours starting to replace hardware.

Okay, here is what you do: 1. Get an actual OEM to supply the server (unless your IT budget is lower then your weekly wage, you can get this sorted and get a 4hr support contract). Get more RAM. 2. Get a 2nd physical server. 3. Don't use Windows 2016 as a hyper-v server, they have a free product called Hyper-V server 2016, look now you can run 2x windows server VM's on the system. 4. Install windows server 2016 as a vm, have the AD stuff do just that. AD. Nothing else. 5. Do the same thing to 2nd server, and spin up another DC. 6. Spin up other vms as needed. 7. get 3rd and 4th server to act as san/shared storage. 8. move vhd files to 3rd server 9. now configure reduncancy settings to auto migrate in the event of a failed server. You can replace Hyper-v with ESXi or KVM or Proxmox, but they'll all be slow if you don't configure them correctly. Try doing every windows server install as a core install, I'm surprised at how many "System Administrators" are just glorified "professional next clickers" I'd also hazard a guess that your performance issues are going to be surrounding poor AD tuning (i.e. having the sysvol on the c:\ etc etc, and having ~1000+ clients doing logins at the same time)

Can we just have 2 stickied threads at the top of the News section: 1. Nvidia rumored to be working on new architecture, and 2. AMD rumored to be working on new architecture. Just lock the above threads, as until AMD/Nvidia decide to exit the GPU market, they will be 100% accurate.

I have to ask, what do you think the economic term "bubble" means? I'll remind you that after the '.com' bubble to the late 90's early 00's, the internet didn't just disappear. Just like now, how no-one knows what to do with the block-chain technology that underpins bitcoin, no-one really knew what to do with websites back then, apart from "I've got one/we do web stuff, please fund my IPO". In a few short years, there will be a Facebook or Google of blockchain, and I can almost guarantee it won't be a speculative crypto currency.

Hey, remember that time when you said Bitcoin wasn't a bubble? I know I do:

okay... You're claiming 100 businesses, so name them. Easy mode: include CPI increases. Hard mode: no CPI increases. Insane mode: must be greater then industry average/cpi increase.

Show me any example where an organisation that has had it's tax burden reduced, increased wages as a direct result? And not just the CFO/CEO. Fact is you wont be able to. Corporations' executives have something known as fiduciary duties to their shareholders, which means unless they can prove they'll make more money for the shareholder, by paying taxes, it wont happen (this is very similar to the concept of corporate social responsibility or the 'triple bottom line', but this concept relies on the consumer having perfect knowledge of the market, which is a flaw in the capitalist theory). The Exec team will be able to argue for greater remuneration as they can show a % drop/saved from reducing their tax burden. If you look at industry average ROI, and compare it to 'taxible income' that apple (and google and most tech giants), you can assume 1 of the following: 1. They are very poorly run (i.e. 8 billion in revenue versus 85mill in tax in Australia). 2. They are moving money around to reduce their tax burden.

Assuming DC has DNS role also installed: have the client computer's primary DNS point to the IP address of the DC. then try again. It's looks like your DNS on the client might be pointing at the router. have your DC point to the router/google to forward requests.

They aren't behind a paywall for the first year or so. just make an account on the HP web site and register your product. I have a Gen 10, migrating from a G7, much faster, but basically the same (no ilo, but I don't need that for my usage). If you have a stock gen 8 then the gen 10 is better. If you have swapped out the CPU in the G8 it'll be the same/slightly better performance wise.

Your learning, you don't need everything to be ultra fast. FYI, virtual CPU cores <> Physical CPU cores. Also assume the old 4:1 vCPU to CPU core count, make sure to if you start 'bogging down' on the host OS, reserve a single core.

Have I got news for you.... It'll work.... but as you discover after ~4-5year, as you start migrating from 1080p to 4K, you'll want to have some sort of dedup job and start everything encoding to H265. Unfortunately (I don't want to run my Desktop 24/7 for a month), my HP Microserver Gen 7 is about ~10% through this process and the system has been dedicated to that for the last 6 months. Just add some more TB so you don't have this issue. I'd say grab Hyper-V server 2016 or [insert your hyper visor of choice], then throw it on a VM, It'll make migrating to a new system when your do a hardware refresh in a few years extremely simple, for minimal performance hit. You'd want to double check that immou worked for your usb/gpu requirements.

While, I agree, I also know how absolutely stupid people in general are, and you really need to have protections in place to stop organisations taking advantage of consumers, an no-one can possibly become an expert in all things. i.e. Mechanic should be able to make these well-informed buying decision regarding cars, but it is unreasonable to expect it from him when regarding every other field that he is not an expert in. This is not true of lawyers, I have yet to meet a lawyer that isn't an expert at everything /s

The whole played game for X amount of time, still is in breach under ACL. ACL don't care about that. A few years ago Apple was forced to call people here is Australia who had 'major' repairs on their device and offer them refunds or some such. From memory it was a little of the EU and a little of Australia.

Yep, Look under User config\administrative templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\ You might need to grab the latest ADMX files for windows 10 if it doesn't work for you. If your in a domain make sure you upload them to the central store, if your nit you'll do all this via the local group policy editor.

3-5 days, clearly not an urgent issue. Also, you wont find any help unless you can actually tell us what the issue is? I skipped through the video, and can't really see what the issue is. If English isn't your first language you might want to find a tech forum you can better communicate with.

/thread.

look into bcdedit. It sounds like the windows boot manager is what is giving you the choice to boot from the faulty install. An easier way will be to open msconfig.exe and modify the boot options there: You're will have a 2nd entry, figure out which is the borked one and deleted it (make one boot to safemode, reboot the computer, if it goes into safe mode, then you know to keep that one, etc etc). if the boot secotor is on the other disk also, make sure you have your install usb/dvd ready to run a fixboot/fixmbr or whatever the commands are to re-generate the bootsector after you've wiped the old windows disk away.

Open 'local security policy' (or do this in GPMC if this is enforced by a GPO already), look for Local Policies\Security Options\Interactive logo:Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL. Not sure if it would show everyone, or just the last user, haven't really tested it, and it's a pretty stupid idea. If people are having trouble remembering their username, your naming convention is really bad. Easiest thing to do would be to re-name (use powershell if you have a few hundred to automate the process) all the SAMAccountnames for each user. A good convention is [firstnameinitial][lastname][autonumber(optional)]@[domain].[tld], [firstnameinitial][middlenameinitial][lastnameinital]@[domain].[tld] or [firstname][lastnameinitial][extracharacters from last name till unique]@[domain].[tld] Otherwise if you can't get any meaningful unique and easy to remeber names, make everyone an Autonumber (i.e F12345 for finance users, S12345 for Sales, etc etc) and just assign the important (read exec team/upper managment) login alias' and ignore the end users.

Can confirm. However, I have seen management vlans have access from Wireless (4g/LTE, not wifi) also, but that's more for remote ts if your main line goes down, given that this is home business, this seems overkill, if you do get a wireless backup, just have your core switch route out of the wireless if the main line goes down.

There is something called "business requirements". It's the reason a lot of executives get given iPads. and thous iPads get put into desk drawers never to be seen again. Also keep in mind that the snapdragon 835 is used in phones (then compare the prices to that - Samsung s8 etc etc), basically your paying for a phone with windows instead of android + a different case/battery/screen.

Assuming both new in box? just grab the older one. longer burst speeds with more cache, but it doesn't really matter. You might want to double check there aren't any other features your missing (i.e. better queueing etc)

You just got lucky, The reason for the 3TB seagate drive are bad meme, is due to the factory they where made in was flooded back around 2010, and surprise surprise they had really bad failure rates, or your drive wasn't ever affected by this (mid 2014 purchase?) Nowday's most failure rates are within margin of error.

More choices for the consumer. Also, I know for a fact that 99% of the computers here at work are glorified email machines, that send HTTPS requests to a beefy server that do the heavy work should they do anything that isn't email. Throw in a good EMM/MDM solution and you have the perfect 'who cares if you lose it' system. And I'm sure pricing will get corrected if no-one buys them.

While I agree, if it can automatically enter the reps + sets + exercise name into bodyspace/other good gym app, i'd be down for it. Tread mill is also good as it'll be more accurate be able to count for HIIT (i.e. when I use the tread mill i alternate 15km/h and 9km/h for 30mins, does that count as 15mins either way? or averaged to 12km/h? also if I burn 10cal/min at 9, but 16cal/min at 15, it means there isn't linear scalling etc etc, just get the watch/treadmill to do the calc for me).

It actually is, the block chain technology is getting deployed everywhere here in Australia: https://www.businessinsider.com.au/the-asx-is-replacing-its-chess-share-clearing-system-with-blockchain-technology-2017-12 Heck we have some energy producers looking at it so people with solar can feed into the grid and do peer-to-peer energy sharing http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-11/blockchain-technology-fuels-peer-to-peer-energy-trading-start-up/9035616 Still early days though.
